When they officially joined as a duo 20 years ago, Chris and Oliver Wood were packing small rooms. But most folks who turned out for those early shows had been lured by the music the brothers had made separately: Chris, as the bassist for the successful jazz fusion trio Medeski, Martin & Wood; Oliver, as the lead singer and guitarist of the southern blues rock outfit King Johnson.
Now respected far and wide for what they do together, the talented sibling songwriters have established themselves as one of the nation’s most endearing and delightful roots rock bands, and appearances at a long list of festivals and tours all over the map have made them a household name and a welcome companion for any listener.
